With Mother's Day approaching it's the perfect time to start thinking
of Mum and activities you can do together. AwesomeAussie Things to
do with Mum is the perfect book to help with this. Whatever your Mum's
interests, this book can show you some awesome things to do together.

From indoor activities, to gardening, games, backyard projects and
beach fun, there are so many ideas for you to explore.

Does your Mum like trees? Learn the art of Bonsai pruning together.
Choose a suitable Australian species - eucalyptus, Grevillea, or Banksia - and
get snipping. Does she want to put her feet up at meal time? Maybe you can make
her some HomeCooked Tucker with a Twist? Teach her some
new dance moves so she doesn't embarrass you at the next party, or build the
most awesome sandcastle ever together next time you are at the beach.

There are recipes, excellent illustrations teaching skills such as
knitting, and instructions for games from Mum's childhood such as Cat's Cradle,
Knucklebones (Jacks) and Elastics.

Filled with quirky illustrations, fun facts, great tips, awesome ideas
and step-by-step instructions this book will help you to discover just how
amazing your Mum really is.
